After a couple of hours of reading posts, it was easy to figure out that there is a lot of good help available here, but I need to provide GOOD info for people to work with. Here is what I can tell you.

Total cl is 0.7 ppm
ph is 7.9
hardness is 160 ppm
alkilinity (with stabilizer correction) is 151 ppm
cya is 30 ppm
copper is 0.38 ppm
iron is 0.0 ppm
borate is 80.00
nitrate is 5.00

Again, since opening the pool 3 days ago I have added 2, 3" cholrine pucks and approx 4 oz. of algecide to the pool. I have vacuumed a couple of times, cleaned the filter ( cartridge) once and let the filter run 22 hours a day.

The above information was obtained by taking a sample to a pool store. Denise obtained a print out of the results and called me with them. I beleive I got them correct, as we had a semi bad connection.

We are trying to correct a blackish patchy situation on the bottom of the pool. I can try and take pictures tomorrow that might show the problem. Scrubing, from the deck with the vacuum brush seems to have no effect.

Thanks in advance for any help
